I might could help Police find someone involved, but there's a big problem. Police will not release any description. Must be Chief Willie's and Edna's way of reducing crime, just claim it doesn't exist.

I'd join your movement, but the Chief, Edna, and Clowncil will only deny crime even exists. They don't know it yet because they only run Tom and SMN and tell it what to do. There is also another form of media that they don't run and that is television. That form of media doesn't mind telling Savannah leaders (play on words) which direction Hades is in. (play on words again) I read SMN and one commenter just for laughs, and get the REAL news from T.V.. Let Clowncil, Edna, and the Chief laugh all they want. Just so they keep in mind " He who laughs last, laughs the loudest and best".

Maybe SavannahNow should put the woman murdered in her car story as the lead rather than the dead coyote. Maybe this should remain on the front page for days or at least until the next senseless murder. Maybe?

No way can it be the lead story. City Council and chief willie have declared crime at "historic lows." So stories like this have to be hidden. Now there's nothing to stop US from going to all the travel websites and posting this information, along with other recent murders. Just a thought.........

A young woman has been murdered and some of the folks that post here use that horrible crime as an opportunity to sound off on the police and leaders of the city as well as making their not so subtle racists conclusions public. I wonder if they have made a trip to city hall to discuss their suggestions for fighting crime. Instead, they sit around speculating on what might have happened without the slightest bit of real data and post here without using their name. The victim deserves better than that and so does her family.

Rebecca Foley was an amazing individual and she will be sorely missed by her family and friends. She will never be forgotten. Please donate what you can to help her family with the funeral costs. God Bless You.

Since you are so much "in the know" as far as her being dragged into the woods, instead of, I don't know, the possibility that she was able to get away from her car on her own, maybe you need to be identified and questioned as a suspect. There is a LOT of cop hating on this website, most of which is posted without FACTS. As for "CSI: Las Vegas" style, you do realize that is TELEVISION. Real forensic type stuff could take months/years to actually get information. Let's take the trajectory of the bullet holes in the car and pinpoint exactly what color the suspect's tennis shoes were and if he/she was wearing a reindeer sweater knitted by grandma!!

When this story first appeared at a different site it was mentioned that Ms. Foley was moving. Whether that is true or not is another matter. But I predict a jilted suitor will end up behind bars for this.

My condolences to her many friends and family. To many commenters receiving thumbs down. It's just an 80 year old something that defends thugs. Only his kind makes idiotic remarks of someone making smart, legimate posts. He's got to watch out for his neighbors.
